I was taught the basic right from wrong, use your judgment when needed, take pride in yourself and that work that you do. I realize that I was taught old school and that over the years taking notice in the way that people place values on things that having meaning in their lives. I seem to value the way that I view family and people in respectful manner and empathetic to needs and feelings.

...Personal Narrative
There are many values in my life that are very important to me. My values that I carry with me all the time day and night originated from my family, friends, and teachers that are important in my life. The people that have influenced me and taught me most of my values is my family.
My family is the people that have been there with me through the “good” and “bad”. They are the people who taught me the “dos” and “don’ts” in life. My parents are the ones who made me who I am today. By being there everyday of my life my family has taught me the meaning of loyalty, I’m a smart, loving, caring, trustworthy, hardworking, and successful because my parents helped guide me in the right direction. They will be there to support me until the very end. I don’t know what I would do without my family. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be the person I’m today.
My family has taught me never to give up and to keep going even when times get rough. They have instilled in me to reach my goals and strive for the best. I will reach my goals in life to the best of my potential. With this in mind, I go to school everyday to reach my short-term goal of graduating with honors and start my next goal of becoming a sophomore in college. My family has taught me everything that I believe in such as religion and working hard for what you want. When I got to school I get taught many things from my teachers, which helps me become a more well rounded and educated person. My friends...

...Values can be defined as those things that are important to or valued by someone. That someone can be an individual or, collectively, an organization. One place where values are important is in relation to vision. One of the imperatives for organizational vision is that it must be based on and consistent with the organization's core values. In one example of a vision statement we'll look at later, the organization's core values - in this case, integrity, professionalism, caring, teamwork, and stewardship- were deemed important enough to be included with the statement of the organization's vision. Dr. John Johns, in an article entitled "The Ethical Dimensions of National Security," mentions honesty and loyalty as values that are the ingredients of integrity. When values are shared by all members of an organization, they are extraordinarily important tools for making judgments, assessing probable outcomes of contemplated actions, and choosing among alternatives. Perhaps more important, they put all members "on the same sheet of music" with regard to what all members as a body consider important.
The Army, in 1986, had as the theme for the year "values," and listed four organizational values-loyalty, duty, selfless service, and integrity-and four individual values- commitment, competence, candor, and courage. A Department of the Army pamphlet entitled Values: The Bedrock of Our Profession spent some time talking about the importance of values, and included this definition:

...Accountability
* The quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.
Explanation:
When someone has to hold me accountable, because I failed to do what I should have done, I have a serious conversation with myself. My belief is that no one should have to hold me accountable for my actions, responsibilities and goals. While I appreciate others helping me get better, I am the one that must hold myself to a high standard.

...Creating Shared Value.
(Michael E. Porter & Mark R. Kramer)
* What is your reaction to this article? Critically evaluate its content based on your personal and professional experiences and any additional research you might like to do.
The article starts with a description of the cynicism surrounding capitalism and management, and also some of the reasons for such cynicism. My life’s first attitude towards capitalism and management was also marked by distrust and skepticism. I grew up in a small town that is surrounded by big factories that manufactured products such as steel, cement, flour and so on. Our town was victim of companies’ strategy to relocate their production plants where labor was cheaper.
Article provides three concrete steps that management can take to achieving what they have dubbed as Shared Value, which is an attempt to meld together societal and economic progress, so that it creates societal value for the community in terms of making relevant contributions to their social realities, but not at the expense of economic value to the business. The three steps are as follows:
1) Reconceiving products and markets;
2) Redefining productivity in the value chain; and
3) Enabling local cluster development.
In brief, reconceiving products and markets entails meeting needs in often underserved markets through redesigning products and/or distribution methods. The authors cite microfinance as an...

My Values (1.1)
Personal Values
My personal values include trust, friendship, integrity, ambition, accuracy/attention to detail, compassion, and competence. I feel like these fit along with the readings because they are talking about making the world a better place and all of what I value and makes up the person who I am today drive me to make me want a better world. For instance competence just know about the Upcycle and how you can upcycle almost anything.
Economic Values
My main economic value is profitability, and from what we learned in class you actually make more money by going green and upcycling. The USPS is an example of that. Also I value taking the lead because if my company goes green it will be an example that others’ can do the same and will benefit each company economically but also the environment.
Environmental
What I value most is being mindful of the resources I use. That every time I switch on a light switch which is so easy for me to do there are valuable resources being used that I never think about especially when I leave the lights on for no reason.
Community
I have never really thought about my community values before and while reading the readings I wasn’t really thinking about community values, but if I would value something for a community it would be charity and giving back.

Applicable laws and regulations – I would refer to the OPSEC regulation Army Regulation 530–1, as well as my units SOP in order to better help my judgement to determine the exact proper procedures in the destruction of different classified documents.
Ethical values and ramifications – One of the best guidelines, the Army values would be where I would start with this. Although not all of these are incorporated in this exercise, Loyalty , Duty, and Integrity clearly are. The Loyalty is shown when SGT Day decides to cover up for SFC Sharp. Duty is displayed when it comes down to the question of reporting this situation because it is my obligation. Integrity is shown when it comes to doing whats right no matter what situation I am faced with and ensuring the decision is morally correct.
Consider moral principles – The decision I go with will place me in the position to accept any consequences that may occur. Loyalty in this case, can go either way, as in a lot of cases are you loyal to a individual or a unit. What damage can reporting this incident cause on SFC Sharps career and promotable status. This case also puts a hinder on SGT Day's stand in the Army values that we live by daily. What type of leader is SGT Day. Courage plays a role in deciding which way my courage will take me, whether it's the courage to let it slide and move on with possibility of becoming compromised as well as any actions that may arise, or will I have the courage to......

Intro to Social Work
Dr. Sylvia Boynton
Values Paper
My personal and professional values are congruent to social work and the NASW Code of Ethics. One of the values is my self-determination to promote social justice and social change on behalf of the clients. I would like to highlight how important this value is to me because this was one of the reasons that motivated me to pursue this career, which is not related to any other educational experience that I may be taking interest in right now. Prior to pursuing my education at Florida Memorial University I was working as a tutor and did a bit of volunteering at the Broward County School Board after School Program, which further developed my interest for social justice. On my second day of volunteering at Cypress Elementary School in Pompano Beach, Florida, I encountered an epiphany as I was waiting in one of my kid’s class room. I realized that social work was my vocation. I was able to foresee myself doing something related to this population, which would challenge my skills. I saw a need of sincere and passionate people like myself in this type of setting in where a lot of children had adapted parents and a few that were also in and out of foster care. Oppression has always bother me because I find it unfair that a lot of people, especially children are not treated with dignity and respect as they should instead many people take advantage of them for profitable purposes.

...living. The word value comes from middle English, from middle French, from (assumed) vulgar Latin valuta, from feminine of valutus, past participle of Latin valEre to be worth, be strong (Merriam – Webster 2003). In my interpretation meaning that values are ideas and ways of thinking that we feel are of worth and strong to us. Values play an important role in ones life, they govern how we eat, socialize, work and sleep they.
Values are believed to have originated during the cave man times different clans had a developed a certain culture of how to interact with each other what was appropriate and what was not. For example it was not appropriate to take another families meat without there consent.
Throughout time values have been a huge topic among sociologists and philosophers. Many people think that values a necessary for survival that all humans will die without values. Others believe that if you took away all values that humans would live more adventurous lives, never having to worry about what others think. My opinion is that values are necessary for human survival, if we did not hold any values that we would see the end to human existence.
My experience has showed me that values have a relation to ethics and morals as well. Morals are modes of conduct that relate to how we interact with other people. And ethics are a manner of deciding what is good and bad. One of the most important characteristics of more judgments I that they express our values (Cline......

...Core Values: The Foundation of Leadership James Jarrett, Professor of Leader Development Introduction The United States of America began by establishing its core values in the Declaration of Independence, which reads, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”1 The core values of equality, freedom, and opportunity were established for this Nation in the Declaration of Independence. These core values provided the focus by which this country moved towards greatness and created a source of contention from within to ensure that all citizens receive equal and fair treatment. From the example of the United States establishing core values, leaders must determine their own core values. Identifying and establishing individual, as well as, organizational core values is a critical function if leaders are to bring their organization to high performance. Leaders‟ goals, decisions, and actions must be aligned with their core values to obtain personal and organizational success. This chapter examines the importance of establishing core values and posits that the process for establishing them should be a vital part of individual goal setting and organizational goal- and vision-setting. In On Becoming a Leader, Warren Bennis writes, “Until you truly know yourself, strengths and weaknesses, and know what you want to do and why...

...This paper will examine my own personal values. This paper will look into how I attained these values and which sources influences my life the most in regards to these values. What developmental theory helped shape my values? Are there theoretical concepts or ethical theories that have helped shape me into whom I am? I will give insight into how my personal values affect my professional life and will examine an ethical dilemma in my values and beliefs.
Values
Values are a person’s beliefs in things that should be done or how people should react in certain conditions As I was growing up my parents, grandparents and other family members taught me how to respect, honor, love, appreciate the world and the people that live in it. My father also instilled in me the value of hard work. If you want something then you should set a goal and try to reach it. There is no such thing as failure because even though you may not reach you goal you learned something. My personal values are respect, honesty, hard work, dedication, family, love, and friendship. “Values have to do with choice. The reason we select or choose an
action and the value we place on it are most important in determining the priority of the moral obligations “(Freeman 2000).
Sources that shaped values
Values are instilled in us from the moment that we are born. By observing first......
